Favourite film director/writers: Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino.

Favourite films (Outside of films from the directors above): Amelie (French) (2001), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Factory Girl (2006), Fur (2006), He Died with a Falafel in his Hand (Australian) (2001), Rushmore (1998), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Sin City (2005) (Quentin Tarantino was a guest director for Sin City, but seeing as Frank Miller was the head director, I thought I might mention it anyway)

I must admit, that I try to avoid over-dosing on movie trailers. I also do not listen/watch/read movie reviewers before I see a film, because I feel it leaves an impression that then affects my movie experience; better or for worse, its not for me.
I write this blog, not only because I love films and love talking about them, but also because I know people that rather hear the opinions of others before paying $15 to see the film or hire the DVD. I also write this blog because, now that I have seen these films, I would love to hear the thoughts of others. So please don’t hesitate to write me a comment
